Committee discusses afterschool programs and student bus passes with CTC
Summary
The committee discussed two weekly afterschool programs, coordination with the Recreation Department for coverage until 5:00 p.m., and a request that CTC reserve seats and use photo passes for students; the committee will explore monthly ticketing options with CTC.
Committee members discussed afterschool offerings and student transportation at the Aug. 2 meeting.
Superintendent Ann Kirkpatrick said Chebeague Island School will host two afterschool programs per week on Mondays and Wednesdays. The Recreation Department is working to hire a program coordinator, and the school and the rec department will coordinate coverage through 5:00 p.m.
During public comment, Polly Wentworth asked that the Superintendent ask CTC to save seats on the later bus for students staying for sports so those students are picked up rather than waiting for the bus to return. The minutes record that students "don’t know that they are coming back and believe they ‘missed’ the bus." Committee members said Ann Kirkpatrick will raise the concern with CTC.
On transportation policy, Leah, Courtney Doughty and Ann Kirkpatrick met with Matt Ridgway to discuss the current CTC contract. The minutes say Matt explained that student tickets will be photo passes this school year and that Ann and Matt will discuss monthly versus yearly ticket options.
The record does not expand the CTC acronym or provide contract details; the committee did not record a final decision on ticketing or reserved seats at this meeting.
